Yes, thats right! The sunny midwest destination that everyone is talking about(*). Between the Wal-Marts and the cattle feed stores is a small city that's dying. Many of the larger chain stores take a chance..and fail. Best Buy, Kohls and Barnes and Noble seem to be making a 'go of it'. Topeka is a town that has just gotten its first Starbucks (Wanamaker Rd). Oddly enough the only businesses that seem to be growing are mexican restaurants. Some are very good, small family owned/operated type. The best thing to say about the place is that its cheap. Central America cheap. Three bedroom, fireplace, balcony, carport for $500 a month cheap.
